About Christopher
Christopher earned his master’s degree in Licensed Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2013 and has eight years of clinical experience. Much of his work has involved young people and adults connected with child services and juvenile probation, and he has supported clients dealing with trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and challenging family dynamics.
He uses an eclectic, strengths-based, trauma-informed style in sessions. That means Christopher draws on several approaches and focuses on people’s abilities and coping resources. He also has experience addressing sexually maladaptive behaviors in youth as a Credentialed Sexually Abusive Youths Counselor, a role he has held since 2017.
In practice he often mixes structured skill work with open, client-led conversation. He has used Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, among other methods, and adapts those tools to the needs of each person. Sessions include problem solving, building coping skills, and looking at patterns that cause repeated stress.
People who prefer clear steps and direct support may find his style helpful. If you are exploring stress, relationship strain, addictive behaviors, parenting concerns, or midlife transitions, Christopher aims to help you identify next steps and realistic goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward valued goals. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral changes; it is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christopher will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, adjusting techniques based on what helps, and checking in regularly about progress.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel for appointments. Many people appreciate being able to continue work on skills between appointments and to bring real-life problems directly into sessions for immediate problem solving.
